From the start, our firm has prided itself on offering highly personalized customer service. Our objective is to give you the home you want, not the house we think you should have. We make it our practice to listen to what you have to say to ensure that we understand your vision for your home.

Scott Sullivan Architect specializes in traditional designs of beauty and grace equipped to modern standards. We are dedicated to quality craftsmanship, timeless styling, and exceptional detailing. Our goal is to blend the beauty of yesteryear with today's American lifestyle and technology. Whether your project is a capacious Georgian Estate or a small Arts & Crafts cabin, our knowledge of art and architectural history guarantees we understand the big picture and the finer details you envision. Whether it's authentic period design, a modern interpretation thereof, or forward-looking contemporary we can make it happen.

Your Bay Area Architectural Team

Scott Sullivan Architect has completed more than one hundred successful residential architectural projects throughout the Bay Area: Lafayette, Orinda, Piedmont, Woodside, Benicia, Mill Valley, St. Helena (Napa Valley), and Healdsburg (Sonoma Valley) are but a few of the communities enhanced by our work. We have a strong and successful history of working with planning departments, design review boards, planning commissions, and even BCDC (the Bay Conservation & Development Commission which regulates homes built on the San Francisco Bay waterfront) to get your project approved. Over the years we have learned how to satisfy the authorities without subverting your aesthetic and functional objectives.

Our firm makes it a priority to stay current on zoning & planning requirements as well as local and state building codes. In addition, we are constantly researching new building materials and the latest techniques to ensure we offer you the most up-to-date design options available. If green building is a high priority for you, it will be for us as well. When the city of St. Helena (Napa Valley) was considering instituting its new green building regulations, our client and architectural team eagerly stepped forward to make one of our projects the very first to comply. We not only met the then-proposed requirements, we exceeded them.

If you live in the Bay Area and are in need of an experienced and respected residential architect for a totally new home, a complete remodel, or a simple addition, Scott Sullivan Architect is the firm to call. There is no need to settle for almost when you can have just right. Even if you aren't yet sure of the services you may need or don't know where to begin, give us a call. Whatever the size of your project or budget, we are here to listen and help. Stop dreaming and let us bring your vision to life.

Some Communities Where We Work: :

Lafayette & Orinda: From private estates set amid hidden acres to remodels of mid-century ranch houses, we’ve done more than fifty projects in these two semi-rural Conta Costa County enclaves.

Piedmont: When the owners of one of the finest Albert Farr designed mansions decided to renovate, they called us. Now we are helping with an addition that has received unanimous Planning Commission commendation and approval.

St. Helena: Be it a modern All-American farm house on a 1000-acre family compound overlooking a Napa Valley lake or a Tuscan-style villa on the outskirts of town … we’ve done it.

Healdsburg: When a client sought a new house, guest house & cabana to resemble an Italian hill town, set amid their extensive vineyards along Chalk Hill Road, we brought their vision to life.

Benicia: New houses that blend with old Benicia craftsman homes, Spanish haciendas that hark back to this area’s early history, and new water front projects that reflect Cape Cod tradition adapted to California living characterize our output in this community.

Mill Valley: When a client asked us to recreate the feel of St. Helena’s famed Meadowood Country Club on suburban hillside property, we made it happen.
